Versions of Nuke

History
Over time there have been several versions of Nuke. It all started in Sweden around 1992 when the MUD was created and hosted by members of the Astrakan Computer Club (ACC) at the University of Gavle.

During it's prime, one of the more infamous players obtained a copy of the MUD and hosted what became known as NukeUSA. This was an unofficial version of the MUD and it offered boosted XP rates. However, this version of the Nuke was never developed and it only hosted the content that was in the official version at the time of the 'theft'.

Around the year 2000, when Mycon was the Head Arch, the MUD was having a lot of downtime due to ACC wanting to free up the IP address. With their blessing, Mycon moved the hosting of the MUD to Birmingham, UK with the help of Snickher who recompiled the driver and fixed some bugs which were causing crashes. Snickher was also hosting NukeUSA at this point.

After several years, it became untenable for Mycon to continue hosting the MUD so he handed it over to Snickher. NukeUSA was retired, and Snickher held the official version of the MUD. Shortly after, Mycon also gave a copy to Stanach who was interested in hosting Nuke.

Snickher's copy of the MUD, although the official version, lacked developers and at the time or writing has pretty much the same content from back when he took it over.

Stanach, however, had big plans for Nuke and over the years, started various 'Nuke 2' projects, with various coders including Mycon, MrFuzz, Darkman and others.

In 2020, Stanach started two new projects, firstly a brand new MUD based on LIMA Mud Lib running on FluffOS. This is a complete rewrite from the ground up utilising the features of a modern driver and lib. The second project was to update the original version of Nuke using a slightly newer, but still defunct version of MudOS. This MUD would be updated, with new ideas, fresh content and new code and this is the version of Nuke that this Wiki covers.
